Apple doesn't support UIWebView anymore

[dulvui]

OS target (Android/iOS):
iOS

Godot version:
3.2.1.stable

Issue description:
When uploading to Apple Connect it gives error since Apple doesn't support UIWebView anymore, but WKWebView.
Google Mobile Ads SDK version 7.41.0 uses UIWebView.
The SDK uses WKWebView from version 7.55.0 https://developers.google.com/admob/ios/rel-notes.

I tried to update to latest SDK Version and the Upload works, but I don't have an iPhone to test.
Can someone test and see if it works? Or is there another workaround?

Can you give me the framework that are you using and the .a compiled to test?

[gumaciel]

While we're working on an update, we recommend that you use the 7.41.0 version.

You can download here: https://github.com/kloder-games/godot-admob#ios

I used version 7.58.0 of Google Mobile SDK and the .a from here

Oh i found this: ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage — Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs, so is high necessary update the SDK now

[dulvui]

Yes exactly this is the problem I had.
I can't submit the App with that version of Google Mobile SDK

[gumaciel]

Are you facing this too? #124

[dulvui]

No, but I still didn't try to show a rewarded or interstitial ad.
I'll try and let you know

[gumaciel]

Can you try this?

Set a key and value in your GAMENAME-Info.plist to use WKWebView instead of UIWebView.

Key: gad_preferred_webview
Value: wkwebview

[gumaciel]

Are you building the app on simulator? On my Xcode it says "GoogleMobileAds is not available when building for iOS Simulator."

[dulvui]

Yes, I still need to get a real device.

Can you try this?

Set a key and value in your GAMENAME-Info.plist to use WKWebView instead of UIWebView.

Key: gad_preferred_webview
Value: wkwebview

let me know if this solved

[dulvui]

I still get same error message when uploading to Apple Connect.

TMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability.

Will make the update today, check this issue today at night or tomorrow, thanks!

Are there any known issues when using the recent admob version or is this just not tested yet?

[gumaciel]

I dont test yet, but probably not yet compatible
